The British Council Film Collection is an archive of more than 120 short documentary films made by the British Council during the 1940s designed to show the world how Britain lived, worked and played. Preserved by the BFI National Film Archive and digitised by means of a generous donation by Google, the films are now yours to view, to download and to play with for the first time.
A brief look at the heritage and development of the traditional lowland villages of east England. Lowland Village focuses on the timeless local industries and the pervasive impact of agriculture to give an insight into the daily life of the various hard-working villagers.
This film feels very short, and the narrative is given in fits and starts, with long shots of traditional crafts such as blacksmithing and ploughing.
The war is not mentioned at all. The overall impression given is of villages that are relatively unchanging but nonetheless charming and productive.
There is a distinct bias towards the work of the villagers, rather than the community.
